Last year I boarded a plane and flew to a small city near the ocean on the east coast. Even though the weather was cool I loved it! I took a drive, found myself lost and eventually found my way back to my hotel. Even though I drove around in circles for a couple of hours I still enjoyed the driving! Only someone who was in her car driving all day for years, would say she enjoyed being lost!

This morning as I was thinking about all that is going on in my life, this chair arrived in my thoughts. I took this photo when I was in the small coastal city. It drew my attention, because it is a rocker and I could picture it on my future front porch. Of course I saw myself sitting in the chair, with a glass of ice tea and a book in my lap, with a view of the ocean.

For years I longed to live near an ocean. Yet, today I am not living near an ocean. It is raining where I live and the sun is not shining. Instead of sitting in a rocking chair along the ocean, I am in the middle of an exciting time of life! Today I decided, even though what I am doing is "a lot" of work, I am going to enjoy this season of life. Everything may not be pretty, and lovely, but I am smack in the middle of doing what God designed me to do for him. What is required of me? To say goodbye to the ocean in a small eastern city.

The Relationship Of The Heart Conference is beginning to grow. The first book, "A Heart That Seeks Him," is now published and available on amazon, with 2 more that will be available in the near future.

Tonight I sit at my desk and reflect on all that is going on. The first book is published and now available. (A Heart That Seeks Him.) Two more books are in the design stages. #2- Focused on Community In The Body of Christ. #3- Jesus and his heart for reaching others. As I look forward to the days ahead there are many unanswered questions that are weighing on my mind and my heart. They are questions about my professional life and my personal life.

A few minutes ago I checked my twitter feed and a tweet from Joel Osteen caught my eye. "Your gift may seem small, but don't discount it. You've been given something unique that will propel you into your destiny." This word is not only for me, but speaks to many others in this season of their life.

God does not always give us the entire picture of what our future will look like. Instead he encourages us in his word (the bible) to continue to live each day to the fullest. In his time he reveals the next step in the journey of our life. The key is to not always be focused on the future, but enjoy the day we are in.

Today was a busy day, but I decided when I opened my eyes that I would enjoy this day. I pray for my readers that you too will learn to live each day to the fullest and enjoy each day as it arrives.
